    New Vette is a huge bang for the buck at little more than half the price of a loaded F type.....and I'd bet good money would beat the Jag around VIR hands down!;)

    There are already rumors that this will be the first facelift change, we're not the only ones complaining about it...:Thumbsup:

    The Jaguar is drop dead beautiful, but it looks more like something you'd drive around town. The 'vette is not as elegant as the Jaguar, but it looks more muscular, something you'd see on the track.

    Everybody is right, the Jag is all style and looks and the Vette is slightly uglier, but will leave it for dead around any track.

    That said the Jag looks better in pictures than in person they look slightly off in person to me. Byers has a line of them, which tells me the price is all wrong.

    Didn't know the jags were sitting on the lots. Not so the Stingray, I can't drive one probably until the spring, they're all sold around here. I had to give up a portion of my anatomy I cherish dearly just to talk the dealer into letting me sit in a sold one.

    I still haven't seen the Jag in real life, just pictures, interesting pictures make it look better than real life, it's the opposite with the Corvette. Next time I'm in Appleton I'll swing by the Jag dealer.

    The Stingray was there also, did not like the tailights at all, but other than that, very nice. One of the Stingrays that was there had the removable top stowed in the back, once that happens, not much room left in the hatch area.

    You would be amazed, my dad had a C4 and we could get two sets of golf cubs in the back with the roof stowed! There was no view out the back but the lid shut :)

    A dealer in Columbus advertised they had 2 Vettes in stock, then the next day they sent a message saying they were gone already.

    Jill has me on a Vette ban as well, so first I have to convince my wife that Vette ownership is a reasonable thing. I still want a C5 Z06 as my toy car, something about the flip up lights still seems cool to me.

    You can get pop up headlights on a Miata for dirt cheap. Sticking an LS1 in one is possible, but costly. Probably more that a C5 Z06.

    I can have your Miata for dirt cheap? OK if you need the garage space I can help you out :) The money could go to Bab's weekly computer fund :p

    Not for sale, but thanks Allen. With friends like you who needs enemas. :prrr:

    I was pretty worried Babs would get into my secret donut money stash. :donut1: She has not had much fun for the past couple of weeks. :frown2:

    Back on topic....

    Man does that Jag F type look better than that C7. :D
